Another week of the off field issues dominating the headlines. Finally the players have been paid the day before they could all serve notice and walk for free. A recent war of words between chairman Ken Anderson in his regular column on the clubs and Marc Iles the Bolton news reporter came to a head with Marc getting banned from the stadium over a tweet involving Muppets. Unnecessary but not worthy of a ban and imo Mr Anderson is bringing unnecessary bad publicity on the club. Also mentioned a winding up order skeleton still in the works but we're all used to that by now. Today we have an actual football match to look forward to with Leeds and their magnificent following of 4500+ coming to the uobs. Mr Anderson will be pleased with that revenue. A tough ask for Bolton against a Leeds side that looks set for promotion, 2nd in the league and won the last 4. Form wise Bolton are now 11 games without a win with just 3 draws from those 11. 2nd bottom and 1 point from safety the games since the international break have been decided by fine margins. There has been more fight shown in those games and with better finishing at Millwall, better marking at a corner at Sheffield, no iffy penalty v Wigan and seeing the game out better at Norwich could be looking at 8 points not 2 from those 12 available. With 3 home games out of the next 4 will the tide turn? Team news. Sammy Ameobi suspended this one game after his sending off at Norwich. Potential like for like replacement otzhumer or Vela or even Wildschut, Donaldson or megennis. Mark Beevers a doubt but we have wheater to come in if necessary. Let's be positive, don't want to get on the wrong side of ken. Loud and proud. Ps. Anyone bringing a free the Beano one banner to the ground today

New biro at the ready
At least two changes for Saturday already highlighted it's expensive this using a new clean team sheet every week I'm surprised Ken can afford it.

Stephen Ireland has left us, mutual consent.

Now he's gone are we going to have give Stephen Ireland a testimonial match.
In years to come we'll be able to tell a younger generation of the times when he played for us.

I don't know why he was brought into the club. Saying that we have no money PP has been wasting it on players who aren't good enough and would obviously take months to get up to speed if they ever could.

Not to worry a mini bus is returning a batch of loans in January to their home clubs it should also be collecting few more to top us back up again provided of course Ken has the money for any new loans.

Ken should make do with a 14 man squad, giving Parky no more than 3 changes in any match.

If GWD worked for the club he would surely win employee of the month with that excellent cost saving suggestion of a 14 man squad.
That along with the current scheme of win bonus savings we'd be back in the black in no time.

Hobbs is frustrated with loosing game by the odd goal. That's easily sorted, just get a striker who can score goals. Oh! I forgot, we don't have the cash to buy anyone who can hit a barn door from ten yards out.
I wonder how he thinks the fans feel about our miserable season so far?

Pity Brentford isn't near Gatwick, the drones may force the players avoid hoofball.
